Elon Musk

Elon Musk, a man who had to be sued in the Delaware Court of Chancery to buy Twitter after signing a deal to buy Twitter, is now promising that his super PAC will remain active in American politics after this election. The New York Times reports:

Musk will be among the “small group” of people waiting for election results at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, according to The New York Times. Since endorsing Trump in July, Musk has reportedly contributed $119 million to a pro-Trump super PAC.

During his interview with Joe Rogan yesterday, Musk confirmed that X’s business is still suffering from an advertiser boycott and that he thinks “there’s no way that a Kamala regime would allow X to exist.”

Our friends Casey Newton and Kevin Roose at Hard Fork make the obvious point.

Elon Musk didn’t show up to a Philadelphia court hearing over his $1 million giveaways to swing state voters, which the city’s DA has called an illegal lottery.

It’s for the DA’s lawsuit over his probably illegal $1 million daily voter giveaway — I wonder if he’ll show up.

One small detail in this NYT story about Elon Musk building a multi-family compound is the resolution around the billionaire promising the name “Valkyrie” to two different mothers of his kids:

The US Fifth Circuit Appeals Court found that the Tesla CEO’s 2018 tweet questioning why workers attempting to unionize would “give up stock options for nothing” was protected free speech, reports Bloomberg.

Okay, this one’s weird: Musk has posted a three-minute clip of a game, but the audio is someone telling him how “We were one second away from telling the rocket to abort” — and how the amazing ‘chopstick’ Super Heavy booster catch was close to being a scary crash.

Elon Musk has been having secret conversations with Russian president Vladimir Putin since 2022, The Wall Street Journal reports, discussing “personal topics, business, and geopolitical tensions.”

Though Musk said he’d give $1 million away daily until the election, the PAC didn’t announce a winner in the sweepstakes today. The money was only available to registered swing state voters who signed the PAC’s petition — which critics said was a clear example of buying votes.

We’ve been sounding the alarm about Elon’s great replacement posts for a while, and Bloomberg just ran the numbers. Musk posts about the supposed link between immigration and voter fraud more than any other topic.

Appearing at a campaign event in Madison, WI, with Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate for vice president shared this characterization of Musk’s campaign event athleticism.

Following X’s request to come back to the country, Brazil’s Supreme Court said it won’t lift its ban on the social media platform until X agrees to pay “just over $5 million in pending fines,” writes Reuters.
